I'm Jacob! I recently completed my M.Div. at the University of Chicago Divinity School, and graduated from Guilford College with a BA, where I majored in Accounting and Religious Studies. I have career experience in both religious studies (as well as specifically Christian and Jewish spaces) and in accounting. As a Teaching Assistant, what I most enjoyed about my experience was the opportunity to work one on one with students or with a small group, helping them to fully access and internalize the subject. Whether this means unlocking the meaning behind difficult readings, learning and practicing specific skills, or growing in confidence and competency to perform better in the classroom, I thoroughly enjoy working with students. As a student, I came to appreciate the value of working with a TA or tutor one on one, spending time on difficult problems or skills. This can be the difference between barely getting by and really achieving proficiency that will allow the student to perform exceptionally in the classroom.
I am eager to collaborate with both students and parents, to work as a team to benefit your education! When I work with students I always look forward to learning from and with you as well, as we work together to determine the most successful approach for you!

Approved Subjects

Bible Studies

Bible Studies

I have an Master of Divinity from the University of Chicago Divinity School and majored in Religious Studies for my BA. I believe that the academic study of religion is extremely important for unlocking understanding of nearly every discipline, as it is such an important part of so many organizations and individuals and their decision-making processes. My M.Div. coursework included intensive Biblical studies in both the Old and New Testaments, as well as studies in Biblical literature and history of interpretation.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

Both my graduate and undergraduate studies focused heavily on writing, with most assessment assignments being essays. I completed both programs with excellent grades, and have received overwhelmingly positive feedback on my writing. I have coached classmates in their own writing as well throughout my education.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

I successfully wrote personal statements for Masters applications and was accepted at every school I applied to, including the University of Chicago Divinity School, Harvard Divinity School, Yale Divinity School, Vanderbilt Divinity School, Duke Divinity School, Earlham School of Religion, and Princeton Theological Seminary.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

As part of my MDiv education I have received public speaking training as well as ritual leadership training. I am a regular preacher at my Cathedral as well as smaller parishes, and am a skilled liturgical leader.
Religion

Religion

I have an Master of Divinity from the University of Chicago Divinity School and majored in Religious Studies for my BA. I believe that the academic study of religion is extremely important for unlocking understanding of nearly every discipline, as it is such an important part of so many organizations and individuals and their decision-making processes. My primary work is in confessional religion, as I prepare for ordination in the Episcopal Church, and am involved in interfaith work, being regularly in contact with Christians, Jews, and Muslims.
Thesis Writing

Thesis Writing

I have successfully written, submitted, and defended both undergraduate and masters-level theses, and have counseled my peers writing religious studies, theology, and history theses at both levels. I am very familiar with the planning, reading, writing, and defending/presenting processes, as well as many of the challenges one may encounter along the way.
